The detection tool will trigger if an object stops and remains idle for a specified time period.

The object doesn't  have to be completely idle, minor jitter is permitted.

To set a specified time period, you must perform the following steps:

  1. In the Detection Tools list, highlight a Stop in area object (1).

  2. Set the idle period duration for triggering the tool. This value should fall into the range of [0, 3600].

    Set this parameter to a value lower than the Time of Object in DB in Object tracker settings (see Setting general parameters of Tracker-based Scene Analytics detection tools).


    If a detection tools runs on VMD metadata, the Stop in Area Duration should be set to 0. Otherwise, the detection tools will not work.


  3. Click the Apply button.
